About Sunken
An atmospheric, dungeon crawling ARPG with a touch of a Roguelike, “Sunken” is intended to be a marriage of genres. Focused on keeping the player on his toes, the game will explore crafting, looting, fighting and challenging gameplay through which a dark story is woven.
- Atmosphere – Leaning on the visuals and the story, “Sunken” is heavy on immersion. Stomping the content as quickly as possible isn't the goal – survival is. “Sunken” is set in an eerie dungeon out of this world and we want that atmosphere to sink into your bones.
- Crafting – Crafting is an important part of “Sunken”, and it is done exclusively in the ‘crafting room’ found on every level of the dungeon. To be able to craft anything, though, you will need to find recipes for the items or the abilities that you want to craft (yes, the abilities are not gained through leveling, but by crafting!).
- Randomization – The monsters and the loot are random in this game. Whether you’ll get a weak sword or a great armor, whether you’ll run into a few zombies or an elite Impaler with Tormentors following in his wake, is left to chance, the chance you will have to take in “Sunken”.
- Narrative –There are many lore books lying around in each level of the dungeon. The narrative is not spoon-fed, and you will have to figure out some things on your own. It contains mature themes.
- Permadeath – Roguelike! Since the beginning of the project, we wanted “Sunken” to be hardcore. When you die, you lose your levels and equipment; however, the skills you have unlocked stay that way. Go big or go home!
- Competition – You will fight – until you die. Compete with other players by checking the Steam-integrated leaderboards. Go get them, tigers.

TBH, I am not even sure why did I try this game. But I did, and I don't recommend that you do the same. While it does have something of an atmosphere, there is nothing else that could be slvaged here. Repetitive fights, poor combat, nonexistent QOL, lots and lots of RNG, terrible speed, — you name any bad design example, it's here.2 found this helpful
I enjoyed this a lot more than i thought I would, it's worth checking out imo.1 found this helpful
Игра «Sunken» — атмосферный квест с погружением в тайны подводного мира. Увлекательный сюжет, где игрок исследует затонувшие корабли и древние руины, привлекает своей мистикой. Графика качественная, но не шокирующая. Геймплей основан на разгадывании головоломок и взаимодействии с окружающей средой, что требует внимательности. Однако локации повторяются, а диалоги иногда банальны. Звуковое сопровождение добавляет напряжённости. В целом — достойный выбор для любителей спокойного исследования и интеллектуальных задач.
"Sunken" is a clunky train wreck, a very weak Diablo ripoff with no content, even thematically the developers tried to rip off Diablo. You do the same kind of stuff, click on baddies until you level up or they die or both. There's a backstory but it's weak and poorly told, laughably bad "voice acting" (if you can call it that). If you even bother to try to get into this you'll quickly run into poor game design decisions, it's basically an ironman game, die and you lose everything. Clunky encounters and combat, zero game optimisation... this really is a dumpster fire trying to cash in on the success of Diablo without the ability to come even 2% of the way. The funny part is they were trying to charge money for this. I'm not sure if this is an asset flip, but it's one of those cases where the assets just look much better than the rest of the quality of the game... a glaring inconsistency. There's no evidence, but as always, the biggest problem with asset flips besides the plagiarism is the deplorably low quality of the other aspects of the game, and even if the game assets are genuinely created for the game, the quality of the rest of the game is indistinguishable from that of…
